Ingredients

Drink

  • 3 tbsp Passion Fruit pulp
  • 300 ml Lemon Soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed

Garnish and Decoration

  • Sliced Lemon, for garnish
  • Fresh Thyme sprigs, for garnish
  • Colored Sugar, for rimming the glass
  • Simple Syrup, for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Dip the rim of each serving glass into simple syrup to moisten it, then immediately dip the rim into colored sugar to coat evenly, creating a vibrant sugar rim.
  2. Add Passion Fruit: Spoon 3 tablespoons of passion fruit pulp into each glass to provide a tropical base flavor.
  3. Add Ice and Lemon Soda: Fill the glasses with ice cubes and pour in lemon soda until nearly full, allowing the drink to sparkle and chill.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices and a sprig of fresh thyme for aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing summer sparkle.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed passion fruit pulp for the best flavor.
  • If colored sugar is unavailable, granulated sugar or sanding sugar dyed with food coloring works well.
  • Simple syrup can be easily made at home by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat.
  • The fresh thyme adds a subtle herbal note; if unavailable, mint can be used as an alternative garnish.
  • Adjust the amount of ice and lemon soda to taste for preferred dilution and fizziness.
